A revitalised area of Dublin has just been announced as one of the coolest neighbourhoods on the planet.
The list, which was curated by Time Out, names the 49 coolest neighbourhoods in the world, with Dublin 8 coming in at Number 15.
According to the publication, Dublin 8 "captures the essence and charm of the Irish capital to a tee".
They added: "With much of the city being built up with cookie-cutter hotels and skyscrapers, this nook has retained much of its original architecture. But there have been plenty of positive changes in the past year too.
"Lucky’s pub has been transformed into a cultural hotspot with excellent rotating exhibitions, while Pearse Lyons' Distillery is taking tours around its church distillery again.
"The neighbourhood brims with vintage and bric-a-brac shops, street art, markets, homey cafes, and it’s also where you’ll find some of the city’s hottest foodie talent.
"Not to mention the Dublin Food Co-op, where locals can buy organic produce and educate themselves at sustainability workshops and other community events."
Nørrebro in Copenhagen takes the crown as crown as the coolest neighbourhood in the world right now.
